The news around here lately couldn't be better!!!

Wall Street is paying huge premiums for GBTC and the Nasdaq is experimenting with bitcoin but the price hasn't done anything.

That is so weird to me and I can not figure it out.  I'm thinking its gonna take something really big to break us  out of this rut and then when we do, all of the infrastructure news here recently will all be factored in at once.

Hopefully

its great that the news gained traction, but it still feels like we aint moving anytime.

if we added a huge sum of users, our bitcoin core would be clogging up, correct me if I`m wrong.

this is based on all transactions and nodes back logged, which is why people wait more then 5 hrs back in the day or more. Now imagine this on a larger scale where you wait 1 week for it.

'Blockchain' now hoas officially gone full tech bubble buzzword. Doing any sort of record keeping inside the Bitcoin Blockchain in anything besides the personal scale is comical because it would increase the data storage requirements beyond what's being sustainable.
Shut up you filthy heretic.


We don't read the actual articles and think critically about them, only the headlines.
If it contains "blockchain" and "NASDAQ" in the same sentence, it's moon guaranteed.

"Still, bitcoin-based settlement remains untested in the real world. Regulators worry about the anonymous status of the bitcoin miners that collectively manage the system. It is conceivable that bad actors might one day take over the mining network and destroy the integrity of its verification system, some say.

Also, bitcoin’s underlying software is unable to handle the massive increase in data storage that a Wall Street settlement system would require."



Everybody knows that when venture capital money is involved, nothing can go wrong.

NASDAQ realises there's no point in using 'blockchain technology'. The real deal makes most sense.

If they'll do it, this will mean a ton of tiny transactions, but which will increase the blockchain a lot.
I am not sure if it's a good news. In a year after that's gone live, the common user will not have space to hold the blockchain => no more true decentralization.

Lol c'mon man.  I remember back in 2012 - if Tom's mini mart began accepting bitcoin, it meant moon.  Now the nasdaq is experimenting with bitcoin as the backend for the stock market... and that is bad news? 

Scaling solutions are on the table now.  It may take a few years, but bitcoin will be able to scale to handle this.

But you are not taking into account the fact that free space gets improving yearly and we'll get to a point were this is not an issue anymore.

Banks exchanges by a relatively huge transactions about once a day, so it is not a problem.

Very good news.

After the Goldman Sachs' investment into "Circle", wall street is starting to wake up and realise that bitcoin/blockchain-decentralised-technology-ledgar is the future.
Harnessing this technology for the commercial sector will help their industry as well as increase the utility of the bockchain.

Obviously many of us want bitcoin as a currency to succeed and this kind of positive news strengthens our vision.

Amazing stuff.  Wall street would save tons of money in lawyer in bank fees.  And I didn't realize it took 3 days to finalize trades. 
Well, you fooled yourself in such an epic way that I'd say that "naked and afraid" is too much for ya.

Interesting. However, I don't see how one satoshi can be a transaction with dust limit of 546 satoshis.
If each share will be represented by 546 satoshis, nasdaq will need 546x[2.1bil shares]=~1.1trillion satoshis daily=11 thou bitcoins daily (three times more than daily production).
If each transaction is represented by 546 satoshis, then 546X2.5 mil daily=~1.1 bil satoshis=100 bitcoins daily-more doable.
However, once these satoshis are associated with shares, they will not be able to be associated with newly traded shares, so a constant flow of satoshis will be directed toward shares and these will be removed from daily circulation (until those shares are traded), hence a pool of available satoshis will be constantly depleting.
